I haven't had a chance to grab it yet but I will when I get home from work today. There are 8 tracks and the album is very short by Radiohead's standards. Also, not all of the songs are new. Tracklisting:

One interesting thing to note is that people have started to speculate (already) that this may only be the first 1/2 of the record. THe last track called "Seperator" contains the line "If you think this is over, then you’re wrong."

More Radiohead would be :drool::drool:

I can't wait to get home and listen!!

And...they're back. Radiohead have just announced their eighth full-length record, The King of Limbs. Billed as the world's first "Newspaper Album," an extravagantly packaged version of the record will be issued on May 9; however, the music itself will effectively be issued on Saturday, February 19 when digital downloads become available to those who made pre-orders.

You need to watch the "Scott Tenorman Must Die" episode of South Park and you'll understand.

Mr Simon was there, too, as well as other Germans who lived through the Berlin blockade like Gerhard Kapito. "After the war, we looked on the Allies as occupiers," he says. "But after that we came to see them as our friends."

That's fine. I don't "get" a lot of popular bands. I've been listening to them obsessively since "The Bends" came out so they don't seem so weird to me but I've never been able to get someone into them who hasn't liked them along the way. My wife (who shares most of the same musical tastes as I do) just calls it noise. If the first CD of theirs I ever heard was "Kid A" I'm pretty sure I wouldn't give it a second listen.

They were a pretty good rock band. But they woke up one day and said, "Y'know, we put out some pretty good rock music, but what we REALLY want to do is crappy techno."

I've never seen a band do a 180 like they did.

The progression from The Bends to OK Computer to Kid A ... to In Rainbows is actually pretty fluid. What do you want out of a band? For them to release a great CD and remake it for the next 20 years like 95% of all bands out there?

If it's a choice between a band doing that and switching from a style I like to a style I don't like, I'd take the remaking. I think Coldplay is a perfect example of a band that has a formula and sticks to it. I love all their discs, but they certainly don't have a lot of variety to their sound. Radiohead, while I still enjoy them, has produced a lot of recent music that I just can't listen to without getting a headache. The Bends was brilliant...OK Computer was damn near flawless...but from Kid A onward it's been a mixed bag and I haven't been 100% into that. Not a knock on them, because if bands never evolved The Beatles would never have been great, but it's certainly my opinion on the matter.

And again, where can I access the 2nd disc without getting the discbox or pirating it?

There's absolutely nothing fluid about the change between OK Computer to Kid A. They went from making actual songs to putting out techno gibberish.

If you *like* techno gibberish, that's great. But I don't call a band completely changing their style progression.

Of course no one really cares about anything anonymous nerds have to say on a random internet forum. However, since we obviously enjoy having these meaningless conversations, common courtesy dictates that negative opinions should kept to yourself unless asked. If people hate Radiohead then they can go start a thread about it - I'll be sure not to post in it.
